Sasol Chemicals is dedicated to achieving meaningful sustainability goals
We are focused on reducing our Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 30% by 2030, using 2017 as our baseline. Looking ahead, we aim to achieve net zero emissions for Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG by 2050.
Our evolving strategies to reach these targets include increasing the use of renewable electricity, adopting low-carbon energy sources for steam production, and prioritizing energy and process efficiency initiatives.Beyond 2026, we plan to undertake significant initiatives like Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS), which will require substantial capital investments.

We contribute to the UN Decade of Action through the UN SDGs, which are embedded in our strategy and purpose. We have prioritised six SDGs which we directly contribute to while linking and indirectly contributing to the other 12 SDGs.
